Moving in
We are at summer camp now. Just moving in actually. Starting camp isn’t just a matter of showing up and pitching your tent. ( the tent is already there for you). We arrive, review medical records with the staff, receive dining hall orientation, group photo, swim test, and shooting orientation. All this before we even move into the campsite.
As you can see from the photo, camp is clean and pristine. Just wait. Chaos will ensue.
Testing for mobile
Doing a quick test from the iPhone to make sure I can post to the website while at Summer Camp. Seems to work fine.

Welcome to the Overgrown Boy Scout. A podcast for parents that don’t quite know much about scouting. This week intro the show, talk some news, give you a Tiger Cub skit, and a list of what to bring to summer camp.
Emergency Cub Scout System Tiger Cub Skit
Required:
6 to 10 scouts
Notes:
Make sure you practice so the Beeeeeps start and stop when they should and so that the punch line does not drag on too long.
Script:
All scouts but one stand in line. Lead scout is in front or to one side.
Leader: For the next ten seconds we wil conduct a test of the emergency broadcast system.
(line of scouts all make Beeeeeeeeeeep sound until the leader raises his hand.)
Leader: Thank you. This concludes the test of the emergency broadcast system. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have heard…
(line of scouts scream in panic and run around)

Welcome to the Overgrown Boy Scout section of the CaptainsCast Production Network. I wanted to do a podcast about my experiences in scouting and be able to help those parents who just don’t know quite what they have gotten themselves into. Believe me, I’m one of them. Look for scouting news, tips, commentary, and funny stories about all things scouting from Tiger cubs on up to Eagle Scout and beyond to adult leaders and volunteers. I hope you enjoy it.
